    Looking to install Bilstein 5100s with rear coils. Before I decide on how high I want to figure out how truly "adjustable" they are. Has anyone changed their height after install?

    5100's are not adjustable in the rear.

    They are only adjustable on the front shocks.

    If you want to lift the rear, you will have to buy taller coils or a spacer.

    You can do that.

    Sounds like you're on the 1.75" setting right now. If you go to the highest, you'll be on the 2.5" lift setting.

    They are pretty accurate with lift height, assuming your coils aren't sagging or you have a bunch of extra weight up front.
